The crime of possession of child pornography is one of the most sensitive and complex issues within criminal law. Italian law is clear and strict in punishing anyone found in possession of such materials, with severe penalties that vary based on the circumstances and the amount of material held.
The relevant regulation is Article 600 quater of the Penal Code, which imposes a prison sentence of one to five years for anyone who possesses child pornography. It is important to emphasize that mere possession, even without the intent to distribute, constitutes a crime.
"The protection of minors is an absolute priority, and criminal law acts as a tool for preventive and repressive protection."

An experienced criminal lawyer can develop targeted defense strategies, for example, questioning the legitimacy of the evidence collected or demonstrating the absence of intent. In these cases, a detailed analysis of all evidence and methods of acquisition is essential.
